Bad Lieutenant - Sink Or SwimBad Lieutenant – Sink Or Swim

Bad Lieutenant are a band made up of New Order’s Bernard Sumner on guitar and vocals, Phil Cunningham on guitar and Jake Evans on guitar and vocals, now the band formed in 2007 and to be honest it seems like they haven’t done anything since then but that is because they have been busy writing and recording for their debut album ‘Never Cry Another Tear’ which is actually complete now and ready to be released on the 5th October and I am sure when it is released their will be no hiding from these guys.

The band’s debut single ‘Sink Or Swim’ is due for release on the 28th September and will also feature on their debut album which is available to buy a week later. ‘Sink Or Swim’ is a really catchy song, it does sound quite like New Order but then it would as Bernard Sumner is one of the guitarists and singers but at the same time the addition of Jake Evans into the band help Bad Lieutenant also sound slightly different, the single ‘Sink Or Swim’ features a cracking bit of guitar work running throughout the whole song and the vocals from Sumner are just the same as they were in his New Order days, the song is very acoustic and catchy sounding.

‘Sink Or Swim’ is a good start for Bad Lieutenant, but it will take until the guys release their debut album on the 5th October for me to get a real feel of what Bad Lieutenant are all about, but so far everything seems to be alright.

3/5
